In less than two months, regulators have seized 14 banks. Experts think many more banks will collapse before the financial crisis is over. "We'll have a banner year [of failures] this year," said Stuart Greenbaum, retired dean and professor emeritus at the WUSTL's Olin Business School.

JPMorgan Chase says that its potential losses related to Bernard L. Madoff, the man accused of engineering an immense global Ponzi scheme, are "pretty close to zero." But what some angry European investors want to know is when the bank cut its exposure to Mr. Madoff — and why. WUSTL business professor emeritus Stuart Greenbaum comments.

Citigroup's bailout by the U.S. government means that the banking giant is going to have to be more aggressive in fixing its troubles — and that's likely to mean deconstructing its financial supermarket model. WUSTL finance professor Stuart Greenbaum says he believes "that some of these super large financial institutions are motivated by the, 'Too Big to Fail' [theory]."

The Bush administration is expected to seek sweeping new powers from Congress next week to pull off its still-sketchy rescue plan. The bailout could operate through a newly formed federal agency, in the same vein as the Resolution Trust Corp., which was established two decades ago to unwind failed thrifts.

There is opportunity in chaos. People with an appetite for risk can still make money in the rocky financial markets and rest assured many are trying.
So how do so-called smart people make money when everyone else is sweating it? Simply stated, they buy things that no one else wants and get a steep discount in the process.
WUSTL business professor and former business school dean Stuart Greenbaum comments.

MBA students at Columbia University have taken on one of the most daunting of management challenges -- not General Motors, not Morgan Stanley, not American International Group. Their classroom for the spring semester was New York City's mammoth public-school system, which serves 1.1 million children with decidedly mixed results.
Columbia isn't the first business school to tackle urban schools. WUSTL business school dean Stuart Greenbaum created a program in the late 1990s to share graduate students and undergraduates with local public schools. He says he hasn't always found it an easy sell.

In the tough post-corporate-scandal era, respected academics have been picked instead of prominent business names to head MBA programs. Typical of the new breed is WUSTL accounting and management professor Mahendra Gupta, who is WUSTL's new business school dean.
Far from talking about making expensive new additions to the school's facilities or raising tons of new money, his main focus will be nuts-and-bolts improvements, with a heavy emphasis on academics.
